Physical Therapy First, LLC

Fantastic experience: I began seeing Tyler Tice at Physical Therapy First for cervical headaches stemming from neck issues. Tyler used many different techniques with me, including dry needling, and has helped me tremendously. He is very knowledgeable and it's always a pleasure to spend time with him during my appointments. I highly recommend Tyler and Physical Therapy First!

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgable and friendly staff. Have been treated there for eyars with different P/Ts, would highly reccomend

Fantastic experience: I've had ongoing back pain issues since a major back surgery 9 months ago, seen several PTs and Tyler is the first one who's given me actual relief. My hat is off to him.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with 3 different PTs at Physical Therapy First - once after breaking my ankle, then to help with hip pain, and most recently I had a massage for back discomfort. I have found everyone there to be pleasant, helpful, and very professional. JoAnn gave me an excellent deep-tissue massage. It was clear that she knows what she's doing and she did a good job of explaining to me what she felt in my back. I will definitely be returning!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Tyler Tice for over 8 months while recovering from a fractured patella and acetabulum which was followed by a total hip replacement. Tyler was a wonderful PT, encouraging, patient and very capable of selecting the appropriate exercises. I am very thankful for his expertise and knowledge.

Fantastic experience: As Director of rehabilitation programs, without hesitation, I give Dr sh Harridon one hundred stars. It’s impossible to improve on perfection, but this young PT doctor did- he’s brilliant, top communicator, passionate about helping his patients and a delightful Friendly personality.

Fantastic experience: I have had three sessions with Austin, so I am still in the early stages of recovery. He listens and adjusts my treatment accordingly. I feel I am in good hands with Austin.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgable team. Building conveniently located with plenty of parking. Facility has ample equipment and therapy tools for all rehab levels and treatments. Chin was my physical therapist and worked wonders from the first treatment on! He was so helpful in my healing that I will not need shoulder surgery and my quality of life is much improved. I cannot recommend Chin highly enough. Great practitioner and a heck of a nice guy to work with. Life changing!

Fantastic experience: I had several sessions with Tyler Tice, a highly professional and friendly therapist, for the purpose of strengthening my right hand after surgery. I am very pleased and satisfied with the training and attention I received.

Fantastic experience: Tyler was both knowledgeable and patient. He took a personal interest in working with me and created an atmosphere where I felt confident that I would recover.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Mark for quite a few weeks, and he is always pleasant, answers my questions and never fails to ask if things are getting better. It is great to be with a PT who is knowledgeable and has a sense of humor. Thank you, Mark!!

Fantastic experience: The staff at Physical Therapy First are GREAT. They have treated 3 ailments in 3 different parts of my body. Each time they diagnosed what was contributing to the problem, treated it with TLC and gave me exercises to help myself. Now each of those ailments are now only a dim memory. On April 1st, 2023, I started experiencing discomfort in the back of my right knee. As the week progressed, the pain became increasingly severe, making it difficult for me to walk. Drawing from my positive past experience with Physical Therapy First, I promptly contacted them to schedule an appointment. On April 5th, I managed to make my way to the Physical Therapy First office, although walking was a challenge. It was there that I met Tyler Tice, an exceptionally competent and professional Physical Therapist. Tyler assessed my knee and diagnosed a torn meniscus. He promptly initiated a series of exercises designed to strengthen the muscles supporting my knee joint. Two weeks later, I visited an Orthopedic Surgeon who confirmed Tyler's diagnosis through X-ray results and also identified the presence of osteoarthritis, which was exacerbating my pain. At that point, I decided against opting for a cortisone shot, as I had mixed feelings about pursuing that treatment. Instead, I continued with physical therapy twice a week, diligently following the exercise regimen provided by Tyler. After a month, I eventually agreed to a cortisone injection on May 16th, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to have the desired effect. Nonetheless, I persevered with physical therapy, faithfully performing the prescribed exercises at home. Towards the end of May, we adjusted my appointments to once a week. Finally, after a challenging journey of 3 ½ months, on July 13, 2023, I achieved a breakthrough. I could now bend my knees, walk, and ascend or descend stairs without experiencing any pain whatsoever. I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support and expertise I received from Tyler and the other physical therapists at Physical Therapy First. Their guidance and dedication truly enabled me to regain my mobility and resume my highly active lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I'm 40, and fairly active (running, soccer, biking), so my body breaks sometimes. Have had a great experience through multiple issues at Physical Therapy first. Specifically had great luck working with Tyler, and while I don't look forward to my next injury, if I play hard enough it will certainly happen again so I look forward to working with him again.

Fantastic experience: Tyler was an incredible PT! His treatment approach to my shoulder injury was extremely effective and relieved my pain significantly. He was relaxed, communicative and patient with me throughout my healing process. A-plus!!!

Fantastic experience: First time I have gone to physical therapy, despite numerous sprains. Glad I did - PT First and Tyler took good care of me and helped speed my recovery up and give me confidence in my ankle again. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Physical Therapy First after sustaining a shoulder injury and a budging disk. I worked with Tyler for several months while I got PRP injections. He was very informative, patient, and knowledgeable. He listened to my needs and showed me many modifications to do in the gym so I wasn’t completely out. After several months, I am now back to lifting heavier in the gym and living life free of pain! I am thankful to have found Tyler and the rest of the team at Physical Therapy First. They are all very friendly and I am glad to have been their patient.

Fantastic experience: I recommend Physical Therapy First nearly every day. Maureen Ambrose is skilled at finding the root cause of an injury or a malfunctioning aspect of the body and will creatively treat it in the office and give accessible exercises to do at home. If I could give 6 stars I would!

Fantastic experience: After my sports medicine doctor advised me to get some physical therapy due to a knee injury, I got a referral from one of my neighbors regarding Physical Therapy First. The location is certainly convenient for me. I hit the lotto when Grayling became my physical therapist. I go twice a week. Grayling takes his time explaining all the different exercises to improve my knee as well as the physiology of the problem and the root cause of the pain. He is easy to talk to and very thorough. He provides exercises for me to do at home. I am very pleased with the therapy I am receiving.

Fantastic experience: This place is phenomenal! Grayling takes the time to truly listen, and I have his undivided attention for the entirety of our session. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the nuances of the body and recovery, and always takes the time to fully answer my questions. He’s gone the extra mile to get on the phone with my doctor as needed (something I’ve never had a PT do before!), and at least 1/3 of our session is him working directly on my knee. I can’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: The PT in Rosedale is outstanding. They listen to your needs and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your health and wellbeing. They are also very professional and friendly. I suffer from chronic headache associated with neck pain. I can honestly say my headaches have been cut from about 15 headache days to maybe 3 per month.. I am truly thankful. And would recommend them to anyone

Fantastic experience: Sarah and all of the staff at Physical Therapy First have always been wonderful. I've come here for shoulder and back issues and have gained a lot from their expertise and attention. This is a no-frills place that's focused on making you better and I really recommend it to anyone; the professionals know their stuff and really optimize their time with you.

Fantastic experience: Ray Moore helped me diagnose my chronic hip pain and is now assisting me post replacement with my rehab. His diagnosis work is spot on and he is fantastic at tailoring a PT program to fit your personal needs. Plus he's a great and caring person!

Fantastic experience: Joey Holmes & the staff at Physical Therapy First completely transformed my quality of life in a matter of a few months. First of all Joey is the most personable & diligent physical therapist I have ever met. He genuinely cares about you as a person & your health. When he was faced with a slew of questions from myself he thoroughly answered them all. He came up with a realistic and practical game plan to get me back to a healthier version of myself. I can now say I feel better than I have ever felt. I can also say I gained a true friend in Joey. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for true personal care & actual results.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Physical Therapists were extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and truly cared about my well-being. After every single session I would feel substantially better and my therapists were as enthusiastic about my progress as I was. Thank you Joey and Sarah, and thank you Physical Therapy First!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Physical Therapy First in Roland Park twice a week for the past month - each and every visit is a great experience. Jamie at the front desk is always very friendly and helpful! As for the physical therapist, I've only worked with Joe(y) Holmes and I could not be more pleased with my experience. His individualized approach makes all the difference. Each visit he comes up with creative exercises to meet me where I am on my recovery journey, instead of simply a list of generic exercises. He considers my level of fitness and my injury specific goals as well as overall fitness goals. I love a good challenge and time and time again he has risen to the occasion. The cherry on top - I have fun! Joey is so personable, interactive, and actually cares about his patient's overall health and wellness. If you're looking for a PT that actually listens, cares, and encourages - Mr Holmes is the bee’s knees.

Fantastic experience: I have a rare thoracic injury that has not responded to numerous medical interventions over the past year. During this difficult period I've been working with PT Sean Phillips in their Rosedale office. Sean's treatments and home exercise program have helped reduce my pain level. Sean takes a holistic approach and explains in an easy to understand manner how strengthening and increasing flexibility to my cervical and lumbar spine can take pressure off my thoracic spine. Sean has a very friendly demeanor and an approach which makes each hour-long session both educational and interesting. I highly recommend him. Jacqui, the office manager, is very nice and extremely accommodating if I need to reschedule an appointment.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient with physical therapy first for about the past 6 months for management of chronic back pain related to scoliosis. I have seen Joey and Sarah, who have both been wonderful. The hour long 1:1 appointments with the physical therapists are a game changer and really allow for progress to be made. I would highly recommend this office for anyone looking for a place to go for PT.

Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with diastisis recti after my second C-section. The best decision I made was to go to physical therapy first for core rehab. I had the privilege of being Logan’s patient. She’s an absolutely phenomenal physical therapist on top of being such a sweet and kind spirited person. She was very thorough and detail oriented with my plan of care. She sent me weekly updates and a plan for me to follow at home. The office staff is friendly. I felt genuinely cared for. Thank you again Physical Therapy First!

Fantastic experience: Physical Therapy First has been an absolute life saver! First of all, the hour long sessions with one to one attention have been amazing. During those sessions, Dr. Ray Moore III, the physical therapist has not only diagnosed and treated me in a variety of ways, but is actively interested in helping to access as many solutions as possible. To that end, he has invaluable mental network of physicians and other health professionals for referral. Ms. Joanne Foreman, the physical therapy assistant and licensed massage therapist has vast knowledge and intuition about the human body that leads to her having magic hands! Both Ray and Joanne have patiently answered my questions and have provided me with exercises that I can do on my own, and an education on what is going on in my body, and this has empowered me to find ways to help myself. I am truly grateful for them, as I have improved dramatically from when I first started coming in as a result of all of the above. The staff is also really nice - Theresa, Jamie and Beth go out of their way to help with anything administrative that is needed! I truly feel cared for whenever I go to Physical Therapy First. <3

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I made was to go to Physical Therapy First. Joey Holmes was fantastic. He knew what he was talking about, took the time to do a full evaluation and gave me more information about my injury than the doctors could. Joey and the whole staff is very personable and actually care about their patients. I highly recommend them. Probably my best experience in this field of work was at Physical Therapy First.

Fantastic experience: I've been to several physical therapists over the years and none compare with Physical Therapy First. Joey is very thoughtful and considerate of individual patient needs. In my initial evaluation he took the time to really understand my issues and openly and collaboratively discussed his plan of care for me moving forward. I split my time between him and Joanne, who is also fantastic. Similar to Joey, Joanne really takes her time to feel out the muscle groups that give me trouble, identifies the issues and openly discusses them with me. This type of care is great because it allows you, the patient, to understand your underlying issues and work on them independently, while also reaping the in-person work these two awesome professionals perform on you. Highly recommend these guys and will never go to another physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: Physical Therapy First has been such a great introduction to PT. On several different occasions I have seen Sarah Voelkel and am so impressed with her knowledge, attention, and time. I depend on my body for my gardening profession and Sarah has gotten me back on my feet, through targeted and specific exercises, massage, and most recently needling (which was truly miraculous!). In addition to her expertise, Sarah is warm, kind, and thoughtful. I highly recommend Sarah and am so grateful to have found her. :)

Fantastic experience: I started physical therapy at Physical Therapy Frist, LLC about one month ago and it has been fantastic. I was in a car accident and was struggling with a sprained ankle and shoulder. I started working with Joey who has been helping me tremendously. This place is full of specialists who not only know what they are doing but make you feel so comforted and taken care of. I guarantee that you will leave this place feeling better than when you walk in. They might as well add "spa" in the title because they give you massages and heated pads. It is great. If I could go here every single day I would.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Physical Therapy First after having 2 spinal fusion surgeries. Everyone at Physical Therapy First is very nice and easy to work with. The staff always follows the COVID-19 protocols and takes being healthy and safe very seriously. Joey Holmes is an excellent therapist. He is easy to talk to and listens well to all of your questions and concerns. It is very easy to get an appointment here, including consistently the same time of day that the patient prefers. Over the years I have been to many different outpatient physical therapy facilities. This is the first and only one that you actually have the entire hour of therapy with your therapist. This is a wonderful feature! I feel you get a lot more attention and help from the therapist compared to any other facility. I would highly recommend this facility and Joey Holmes to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been extremely pleased with care I have received at Physical Therapy First. Joey is my primary physical therapist . He and his colleagues are very knowledgeable and very supportive. I began therapy just prior to hip surgery and have made considerable progress in the last few weeks. I had a rocky start after surgery due to severe pain and while I was experiencing that , Joey was very encouraging. This is a warm, friendly office from office staff to clinical and I highly recommend them for anyone considering treatment.

Fantastic experience: Sarah Feierstein is an amazing Physical Therapist! Her knowledge, skill, and course of treatment helped me tremendously toward pain relief, increased range of motion, and improved balance. Her treatment never seemed formulaic, as I had experienced at a different physical therapy facility. She has a very pleasant personality and genuine concern for her clients. I highly recommend Sarah! I am getting closer to my goal of returning to running.

Fantastic experience: Joey is amazing he truly cares about getting your pain under control which leads to no pain in the long run. His customer service is outstanding! He makes you feel like you are apart of his family. The treatment from Joey and Joann has really help me along to feel alot better than what I felt in the beginning. A special thank you to Jamie who greets me with a warm welcome and goes above and beyond to make sure my appointments are taking care of and address any concerns I might have. I totally recommend Roland Park Physical Therapy First!

Fantastic experience: As someone who has never had a serious injury, I've never had any reason to go to a physical therapist, so I honestly had no idea what to expect. What I found was that Ray and Joey at Physical Therapy First are healers in every sense of the word. Not only are they clearly skilled therapists, they both know when to push you to get the best out of your recovery, when to encourage you when you're feeling like things aren't going well and how to keep things interesting from visit to visit. As someone who went twice a week for a while, I can say that my visits never became "routine" and often times, it was the highlight of my day. I can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: As a Strength Coach I am always looking for physical therapists who I can connect my athletes with if they ever need rehabilitation from athletic injuries. John and Maureen are outstanding. The treatment they give to my athletes is first class. They constantly review each and every treatment they perform so that we can correlate and return the athlete back to their given sport. I would recommend Physical Therapy First as the go to place for rehabilitation from any non-athletic or athletic injury.

Fantastic experience: Over the years I've worked with many physical therapists. Two of them - the best two I've worked with by far - are both associated with Physical Therapy First: Roy Bechtel, in the past, and my current therapist, Leah Flamm. Leah is excellent, and I plan/hope to work with her for an extended time. I suspect the other physical therapists at Physical Therapy First are equally skilled. I highly recommend the people and the organization.

Fantastic experience: Lillian literally gave me my life back. When I started seeing her a year ago for low back pain, I was miserable - I could hardly sit for longer than 30 minutes, I was struggling with school, and I didn't feel able to run or rock climb as much as I wanted. I had already seen two other physical therapists who were unhelpful. Lillian is patient, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable and competent. She is so good at what she does and I will absolutely go back to see her again if I ever need anything in the future. I also saw Ray for dry needling and he was excellent. His involvement in my treatment made a huge difference. Finally, Rachel at the front desk is super nice and friendly, and always a pleasure to schedule appointments with. Don't bother going elsewhere if you have an acute / chronic problem - this is THE clinic to go to. I feel better than ever :)

Fantastic experience: Started seeing Leah for pt after flat foot surgery. She was wonderful and took time to explain everything to me. Left feeling better after my first visit once she showed me the correct way to walk with my crutches. Received a very individualized treatment plan. Staff is very nice and attentive; highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Physical Therapy First is the best PT I have ever experienced. I have a very long and complicated history of spinal issues and the time and care I have received from them goes beyond expectations . John Bauer is amazing in explaining and understanding what needs to be done. You won’t get more personal attention anywhere else. Wonderful staff, lucky to have them.

Fantastic experience: I am so beyond grateful to have found Physical Therapy First that I'm writing my first ever Google review just so that other people can know how great of a place it is. It is truly the best PT practice in the Baltimore area. I only found them after I had a terrible experience with another PT, but I so badly wish I had gone here from the start. I have worked with Ray and Sarah and they are both phenomenal and incredibly skilled. I would trust them (and any of the other PT's here) to rehab me from absolutely any type of surgery or injury. What makes them them the best is that they not only care and go above and beyond for all of their patients, they really believe their patients and take their patients' input into account to stand behind them 100%. They have become an integral part of my medical care, and I honestly don't know what I would do without them. I need to have a second surgery and my only consolation about needing surgery again is that Ray will be rehabbing me from the beginning this time around. Also, special shout out to Rachel who has been the most pleasant and capable receptionist any medical office could hope for!

Fantastic experience: Physical Therapy First is amazing! I have been going to the Roland Park location for 2 years now. The therapists and the staff are so nice and helpful. Ray is wonderful! He has helped me with my EDS and to live my life in a little less pain. This is a great place to come if you want one on one therapy.

Fantastic experience: The highly professional staff at Physical Therapy First ( Roland Park) took great care of me as I rehabbed my shoulder after a fall. My therapist, Ray Moore, is incredibly knowledgeable and trained in the latest techniques such as dry needling. The facility is bright, welcoming and conveniently located. I was able to get back to full participation in tennis and group fitness classes. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The staff at PT First are wonderful! Professionals who care and are committed to excellence and treat patients like family. As a fitness professional I know how important the role of a good Physical therapist is in recovery, treatment and injury prevention. Each patient works one on one with a therapist, which not common in many PT clinics today. Several therapists are certified in dry needling, which I have seen work wonders in my recoveries. I HIGHLY recommend John and his team!

Fantastic experience: I was treated for back and hip pain a few months ago at Physical Therapy First in Roland Park and they are great! I worked with Ray who has many years of experience and he really knew which exercises to perform to alleviate the issue. As a runner, it is now amazing to run and recover pain free (knock on wood)! I enjoyed the one-on-one patient to physical therapist atmosphere and will be back to this location if I have any other issues that arise in the future.

Fantastic experience: Really good experience. From the first phone call, everyone who works at Physical Therapy First has been very competent, genuinely nice and very helpful. I've done more than my share of physical therapy in my life (mostly due to sports injuries and related wear and tear over 50 years). Sarah is the best physical therapist I've known. She has helped me in recovering from a complex fracture of my upper arm and shoulder. PT started soon after the injury, at first to maintain range of motion and muscle function, then to increase both. My PT sessions have had Sarah's undivided attention for an hour. Sarah is thorough, thoughtful, careful, and thoroughly competent. My advice, of course, is don't get injured and don't wear out, but since that is not always possible, if something untoward happens, I'd strongly recommend Physical Therapy First to help you get back to where you'd like to be. Really good people, really, really good physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: There are not enough words to thank everyone at Physical Therapy First! Sarah has been working with me for the last 7 months, and has truly helped with my recovery. She is patient, listens, and definitely one of the best therapists I have ever seen. I have seen a few other therapists as well when Sarah wasn't available, and everyone there is amazing. I highly recommend Physical Therapy First!
